Fuck no. Nobody beats The Stones, ever.

 

[Roscoz]

Scissors does

 

[Northland]

Stones did a better version each and every time they've performed it.

I don't even need to click the link to know the Stones original is better. But I'll click it to humour you...

*listens*

*laughs*

No - I'm sorry. Not even close. But thanks for playing.

Rock beats scissors...

 

[Deno]

perhaps

Bobby Darin's version of "Beyond the Sea" was better, I thought than the versions I've heard dating back to 1940's and 1930's

The Leaves and Jimi Hendrix did "Hey, Joe!" better than the original

Disturbed has performed a lot of the 1980's hits better, I felt, than the original renditions (e.g., "Shout!", "Land of Confusion")

 

[lucky8]

My fav cover song is definately SRV's version of Hendrix's "Little Wing"

It's very very rare you'll manage to find a cover thats better than the original, dont forget the original is what made the cover

 

[Roscoz]

Rock beats scissors...

YouTube - Opeth - Soldier of Fortune (Deep Purple cover)

Love the Deep Purple version.

 

[morsecode]

YouTube - Death - Painkiller

not many metal fans here, I know, but that is some extreme painkilling right there.

Although I like the originals of these, too, I think the covers are a little better:

Alien Ant Farm - "Smooth Criminal" (originally by Michael Jackson)
YouTube - Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

Bananarama - "Venus" (originally by Shocking Blue)
YouTube - Bananarama - Venus

And this one is a virtual tie with the original for goodness:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Higher Ground" (originally by Stevie Wonder)
YouTube - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground

Alien Ant Farm - "Smooth Criminal" (originally by Michael Jackson)

just heard the cover version...a lot better than the original.
